Probably Procrastinating...

He opens a clinic and puts a sign outside.

‘GET TREATMENT FOR $20 - IF NOT CURED GET BACK $100.’ A lawyer thinks this is a great opportunity to earn $100 and goes to the clinic.

Lawyer: “I have lost my sense of taste.”

Doc; “Nurse, bring medicine from box No. 22 and put 3 drops in patient’s mouth.”

Lawyer: “Ugh. this is kerosene.”

Doc; “Splendid, your sense of taste is restored. Give me $20.”

The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to recover his money.

Lawyer: “I have lost my memory. I cannot remember anything.”

Doc; “Nurse, bring medicine from box no. 22 and put 3 drops in his mouth.”

Lawyer (annoyed): “This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste.”

Doc; “Awesome, You got your memory back. Give me $20.”

The fuming lawyer pays him, and then comes back a week later determined to get back $100.

Lawyer: “My eyesight has become very weak I can’t see at all.”

Doc; “oh well, I don’t have any medicine for that, so take this $100.”

Lawyer (staring at the note): “But this is $20, not $100!!”

Zoos don’t look like this anymore.

They look like this:

Good zoos do not keep their animals in “tiny spaces” with no enrichment.  I’m not pro-roadside zoo.  I’m pro-accredited zoo.  Zoos are incredibly important for conservation and education.

Are Zoos Necessary?

Except the sea lions are blind. One was found as an adult after suffering a gun shot wound to the face that destroyed his eyes. The other was found as an adolescent, weak and starving because it had been blinded and unable to hunt. So they were rescued and introduced and the zoo built them a nice pool where they can swim and sunbathe and people toss them fish. It’s not the biggest exhibit, or the fanciest. But it’s a home for them, where they’re safe and well fed. Sea lions aren’t the most romantic of animals, but they’re a part of SF culture and a lot of us have a soft spot for the loud, bulbous things. And because of zoos, these two get to live long, happy lives.

They also do work with camel populations because the local human population use the camels for food sources the zoos help monitor the camels health.

Another zoo, I want to say it’s the Oregon zoo but don’t quote me on that, is helping female inmates. The zoo works with the female prisons by encouraging the inmates to assist in the breeding and raising of endangered species of butterflies. They plant the specific plants that the butterflies and catapillars need, raise them, and release them. These inmates get noted in any scientific journals that get published. They are giving these inmates a sense of accomplishment and validation.

Zoos not only save species but bring together and assist communities in an effort to save the environment. Zoos, good zoos, are essential to the future and I will fight anyone who tries to say otherwise.

A girl in the backseat of a car is drunkenly ranting. The lighting is unintentionally dramatic and dim with a red hue.

Girl in the backseat: ASK someone who has been in musical theatre since I was like, eight FUCKING years old! I can go ahead and tell you, that TROY and GABRIELLA can go to FUCKING HELL with their acoustic ass BULLSHIT versions beCAUSE! …Sharpay and Ryan deserved those parts.

The person videoing: You’re damn right!

Girl in the backseat, still continuing: They tried! They sang! They danced! Troy and Gabriella can ROT!

I’m in graduate school and my paying job is as a behavioral therapist for a few families that have kids with autism. I often take my clients out to the local mall or whatever to engage them with the community.

One of my clients, “Sean,” has been diagnosed with both autism and a rare chromosomal abnormality. He’s nonverbal and has severe physical and mental handicaps, but the dude is seriously one of the coolest people ever. He’s obsessed with one of the department stores in the mall that employs pianists. I’ve spent hours sitting by the piano and listening to them play, which is fine because it’s easy money for me and it’s probably his most favorite thing ever to do.
